In the Canghai Lake, a green lotus suddenly popped up and turned into a beautiful girl. Like a fish, she swam to the lake and competed for fish food.
"Xiao Lian! Stop making trouble!" the young man in white scolded.
"Hehe! Okay daddy!"
Xiaolian laughed playfully, floated up, and jumped to the shore.
The young man in white shook his head speechlessly: "I told you earlier, don't call me dad, you can call me brother, but this is what you want!"
"But, you are obviously my father!" Xiaolian pouted.
"Alas!" The young man in white slapped his forehead and was speechless.
The young man in white is none other than Xiao Long, who died that year. His appearance has remained the same as before, but he has lived for more than a hundred years and no one recognizes him.
A person's temperament can really change a lot, making people look like two people.
Xiao Long was less aggressive, less arrogant, and more peaceful than before, like a soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles and returned to the field after removing his armor.
Today, Xiao Long is just an ordinary person who has no power to tie a chicken. He feeds fish, plays chess, wanders around the mainland, and has his home all over the world.
All the monsters in the inner world are gone, and the only one who accompanies him is Xiaolian.
It's just that Xiaolian's temperament has never changed. It's been more than a hundred years and it's still the same, like a teenage girl, as if she will never grow up.
Xiaolian's ability is also very powerful. Xiao Long's consciousness had been completely eroded by the devil's flower, but he was abruptly awakened by Xiaolian's purification ability.
After the Devil's Flower met Xiaolian, it was as if it had met its nemesis. It even showed no sign of resistance and simply retracted into the depths of Xiao Long's sea of consciousness, hiding itself. Xiao Long also woke up.
This question also made Xiao Long very confused. What is Xiaolian's origin? She is actually afraid of the devil's flower, the source of demonic energy.
Xiaolian wrapped her hands behind her back, jumped up to Xiao Long, took his arm and said, "Dad! Take me out for a walk!"
"I really admire you!"
Xiao Long shook his head and walked towards the nearby town.
This small town was established when Xiao Long came and has a history of hundreds of years.
There are no masters inside, just ordinary people. The strongest ones are only in the body tempering realm. This is the environment near Canghai Lake.
Xiao Long came to the door of a pill store.
"It's from the shopkeeper! This is yesterday's purchase bill, please take a look at it!"
Seeing Xiao Long coming, an old man with a colorful beard handed Xiao Long a piece of paper.
Xiao Long took it, looked at it, and nodded slightly.
"Xiao Lian, help me check if there is any problem with the bill."
Xiao Long handed the bill to Xiaolian.
Xiao Lian took it and took a look at it, thinking: "Well, the price of Silver Heart Grass is twenty taels, but it is marked as fifty taels on it. The price of Tianxuehua is forty taels, but it is marked on it as eighty taels..."
Xiaolian scanned each medicinal material and read out the price.
The old man's face instantly turned ugly.
"That's not right, the medicinal materials are obviously very cheap, why did you spend so much money?" Xiaolian muttered.
The old man buried his head deeply, his face changed wildly. The shopkeeper never looked at the bill before, and threw it away after just one glance. Why did people suddenly look at it today?
"Dad, under normal circumstances, the total price of the medicinal materials inside should be five thousand taels of silver, but it cost nine thousand taels, of which an extra four thousand taels was spent." Xiaolian said.
"oh?"
Xiao Long raised his eyebrows and muttered: "Maybe the price has increased."
"Dad! Are you stupid? Someone is clearly trying to get money!" Xiao Lian said arrogantly with her hands on her hips.
The old man's face suddenly turned blue and white, and he didn't know how to explain it.
Seeing this, Xiao Long said to the old man: "Mr. Mu, I treat you well. Why are you greedy for money?"
"It's from the shopkeeper!"
Mu Lao lowered his head, the blue veins on his forehead protruding one by one: "My son is seriously ill and needs urgent medical treatment. I had no choice but to take more money. Please forgive me!"
He knew in his heart that Xiao Long had a good temper and a kind heart, and had never lost his temper. As long as he explained a little, it would definitely work.
"Well! I forgive you once, but I won't do it again next time!"
Sure enough, Xiao Long didn't blame him, just threw away the bill and pulled Xiao Lian away.
Mu Lao breathed a sigh of relief and broke out in cold sweat.
"It's so dangerous!" Mu Lao looked at Xiao Long's retreating back, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
At this time, a group of shirtless strong men suddenly walked out of the darkness, with dragons and tigers carved on their bodies. They walked to Mu Lao and grinned: "Old man, I told you, this man is a fool and can't keep accounts.
Yes, bring the money!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and waved back.
Mu Lao gritted his teeth and handed over a banknote.
"Huh! If you're wise, be a little darker next time, otherwise you won't be able to see your son."
The leader, a shirtless strong man, took the banknote and led the group of people away cursing.
………
Xiao Long left the elixir store and continued to wander around the town.
"Dad, that old man is obviously after your money, why should you let him go?" Xiao Lian said angrily.
Xiao Long said calmly: "His son is seriously ill, so it's okay to take more."
Upon hearing this, Xiaolian's mouth grew into a round shape, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Oh my God, Dad! You don't really think that his son is seriously ill, do you? You can't see such a simple scam?" Xiao Lian said in surprise.
"Is this a scam?" Xiao Long was confused.
Xiaolian was really speechless.
"Okay dad, I think you are really confused and don't even understand this, huh!"
Xiaolian snorted, put her hands on her hips and said, "Dad! Just wait, I will prove to you that Old Man Mu is a liar!"
Xiaolian turned around and left.
Watching Xiaolian leave, Xiao Long was still confused and muttered to himself: "Is he really a liar?"
Xiao Long now seems to be like a fool, slow to react and unable to see through even simple scams.
………
That night, in a brothel in a small town, a group of burly men hugged a group of girls in a box and laughed.
"Haha! Money comes so easily. A fool and an old disabled person can have as much money as they want!"
Wang Hu, the leader, laughed.
A person next to him suddenly came over and said: "Brother Hu, the girls in Yihonglou are not having much fun. I heard that fool has a daughter who is as beautiful as a fairy. She is like a hibiscus. How about..."
He raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that every man would understand.
"Asshole!"
Wang Hu knocked on his forehead and angrily said: "No matter how bad that fool is, he is still a first-class alchemist. Can he open an elixir store? Is it something we can afford to offend?"
A first-level alchemist, placed in their small town, is a super behemoth. As long as Xiao Long is willing, he can call on a large group of peak body tempering realm masters to work for him.
They are only at the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm, how can they defeat the peak of the Body Tempering Realm?
"Brother Hu, that's not what I meant, what I meant was..."
The man came close to Wang Hu and said something quietly.
When Wang Hu heard this, he showed a sinister smile and nodded: "Well, that's a good idea!"
"Fuck one!"
"Fuck one!"
A group of people picked up their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
